The Marshall Thundering Herd are a perfect 8-0 this season and are one of only three remaining undefeated teams in the country.

Marshall has also been a reliable against the spread bet this season, and the team makes the list of college football's best ATS bets.

The Best

Marshall Thundering Herd (5-2-1 ATS, 8-0 SU) - Averaging 45.9 points per game on offense and 16.5 points per game on defense, Marshall routinely blows out its opponents and covers large spreads. Marshall visits Southern Miss this Saturday and will be a big road favorite against the Golden Eagles.

Arkansas Razorbacks (7-2 ATS, 4-5 SU) - Arkansas is 7-1 ATS over its last eight games, including a 14-13 loss to Alabama and a 17-10 road loss to Mississippi State. The Razorbacks have proven they can hang with elite teams and should continue to do so in upcoming home games against LSU and Ole Miss.

Georgia Southern Eagles (8-1 ATS, 7-2 SU) - With the best rushing attack in college football, averaging 404.2 rushing yards per game, the Sun Belt-leading Eagles have been printing money for their backers all season long. Georgia Southern visits Texas State this Saturday.

The Worst

Northwestern Wildcats (2-6 ATS, 3-5 SU) - With only 19.1 points per game on offense this season, Northwestern hasn't been able to hang in games against teams with solid offenses. Northwestern is a 1.5-point home underdog at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com this Saturday hosting the Michigan Wolverines.

Old Dominion Monarchs (2-7 ATS, 3-6 SU) - The Old Dominion Monarchs actually have a pretty solid passing attack, but with one of the worst defenses in the country, allowing 40.7 points per game, it hasn't really mattered. The Monarchs have allowed 49.4 points per game over their current 0-5 SU and ATS stretch.

Army Black Knights (2-6 ATS, 2-6 SU) - With a 2-6 SU and ATS record and an offense and defense each ranking outside of the Top 100 nationally, Army has for the most part been an easy win for most of its opponents this season.

The Black Knights are a 4.5-point home underdog hosting Connecticut this Saturday.

South Carolina has been impeccable at home in recent seasons with an 18-0 SU and 12-6 ATS record over its last 18 home games.

The No. 9 Gamecocks will take on the visiting No. 21 Texas A&M Aggies on Thursday night in marquee college football odds action.

The Gamecocks are a 10.5-point favorite for Thursday night's SEC matchup against Texas A&M, and Kenny Hill will be making his first start at quarterback for the Aggies as Johnny Manziel has departed for the NFL. Texas A&M has gone 8-2 SU over its last 10 road games.

The Georgia Dome will play host to a game on Thursday night between the Boise State Broncos and the No. 18 Mississippi Rebels. Boise State enjoyed a 92-12 SU record under head coach Chris Petersen over the last eight seasons, but they move into a new era with Brian Harsin this year.

The Broncos are a 10-point underdog against Ole Miss.

On Saturday, the Georgia Dome will host another big game between the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide and the West Virginia Mountaineers. When this game was scheduled years ago, it was projected to be a game between two college football powerhouses.

But here in 2014, it looks more like a tuneup game for the Crimson Tide. Alabama is a 25.5-point favorite.

Two ranked teams take to the field on Saturday when the No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs host the No. 16 Clemson Tigers. All eyes are on Clemson's offense as the team is tasked with replacing last year's starting quarterback and two top running backs and wide receivers. Georgia is favored by 7.5 points at home.

The No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers and the No. 13 LSU Tigers meet at NRG Stadium in Texas for what looks on paper to be one of the best matchups of the week. Wisconsin's Heisman hopeful Melvin Gordon could make an early statement by leading his team to an upset win over LSU. The Badgers are a 4.5-point underdog.

No. 1 Florida State begins its national title defense as a 17.5-point favorite against Oklahoma State at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Florida State was 14-0 SU and 11-3 ATS in 2013.

They haven’t lost since Dec. 2 and they are rich in experienced senior players.

The Florida Gators, the top overall seed in the 2014 March Madness bracket, were sitting at +400 on the NCAA basketball championship odds list at Topbet.eu Monday morning.

Just a few hours after Selection Sunday made Florida, Wichita State, Virginia and Arizona as the top seeds in each region and a few hours before the play-in games were set to finalize the bracket, Gators backers were throwing money behind the team that won back-to-back titles in 2006-2007.

Michigan State, the Big Ten champs who always excel in March, are the second betting choice at +500. Arizona was +700, despite their Pac 12 tournament loss and Kansas, the highest-rated No. 2 seed on the odds menu, was also +700.

Defending champion Louisville, which has surged of late and won the inaugural AAC title, is +900. Meanwhile, the other No. 1 seed Wichita State does not get the full respect from Topbet linesmakers as they sit as the sixth betting choice at +1200.

Syracuse, Duke, Wisconsin and Virginia (a surprise No. 1 seed after winning the ACC crown for the first time since 1976) are the only other school at less than +2000.

The longshots on the board include NC State and North Dakota State at +75000.

The Syracuse Orange have had four days off to regroup from a rough 2-2 SU and 0-3-1 ATS run over their last four games.

Syracuse will need its best effort on Saturday visiting the Virginia Cavaliers, who haven’t lost since January 13. Virginia was a 3.5-point favorite at home on the college basketball betting lines menu at Odds Shark.

Syracuse’s 24-0 SU and 15-5 ATS start to the season catapulted the Orange to the top of the polls as the nation’s unanimous No. 1 team. But over its last four games, Syracuse has barely held on for wins against North Carolina State and Maryland and lost outright to Boston College and Duke.

The Orange were a 13.5-point favorite at home against Boston College. Syracuse has three games remaining in its regular season with this one against Virginia as the biggest challenge.

Virginia has been red-hot over the last couple of months, stringing together a 12-0 SU and 9-3 ATS record over its last 12 games including an impressive win on the road against Pittsburgh back at the beginning of the month.

Averaging just 65.9 points per game, Virginia relies heavily on its excellent team defense to win basketball games. The Cavaliers give up fewer points than any other team in the nation allowing just 54.7 points per game, giving them a significant recent college basketball point spread edge over their foes.

Syracuse’s team is also built in a defense-first fashion, averaging 68.8 points per game n offense while allowing only 58.5 points per game, good for the second best scoring defense in the country.

The Orange and Cavaliers both have leaned heavily towards the UNDER in their games this season with the UNDER going 7-16-1 in Syracuse’s games and 9-15-1 in Virginia’s. The total has gone UNDER in each of Syracuse’s last seven games and in five of Virginia’s last six.

Syracuse has been great against the spread on the road this season with a 6-1-1 ATS record away from home while Virginia is 7-5 ATS at home. With the way these two teams play, defense will obviously be at a premium, and the 3.5 points that Syracuse is receiving could definitely factor in to the final decision.

The Syracuse Orange are undefeated, sit atop both the AP and USA Today polls and enjoy the respect of oddsmakers who have them as the top betting pick to win the college basketball national championship in 2014.

At 23-0, the Orange are one of just two undefeated teams in the country (Wichita State just moved to 26-0) and sit at +500 (wager $100 to turn a $5000 profit).

The Shockers are tied for seventh on the NCAA basketball betting menu at TopBet.eu at +1000 (Duke is also 10/1).

The top of this March Madness leader board is a who’s who of glam college programs. Kansas, with two stellar freshmen, is +600 along with perennial contenders Florida and Arizona.

Kentucky is +700 while Michigan State, which always seems to make deep tournament runs, is +800 and a potential longshot bet here.

There is a big jump to the next tier of contenders as Michigan is 20/1 and defending champion Louisville is 25/1. San Diego State is also 25/1.

Duke faces UNC in action Wednesday and Syracuse puts its perfect record on the line at Pittsburgh.

The Florida State Seminoles are the favourites at the books to win the BCS Championship Game in early January, with college football's bowl season kicking off on Saturday afternoon.

Florida State is listed as an 8.5-point favourite against Auburn, with those teams set to meet at the Rose Bowl in the BCS Championship Game on January 6. The Seminoles' perfect 13-0 SU record this season came with an accompanying, lucrative 11-2 ATS mark, and they were a friend to OVER bettors as well with a 10-3 OVER/UNDER record in their 13 games.

Auburn, going 12-1 SU, also went 11-2 ATS on the season, making the Tigers a great team to place your college football bets on in 2013. Will that continue in 2014 while getting more than a touchdown from the oddsmakers?

That matchup caps off bowl season, but the BCS contests get underway on New Year's Day with Stanford vs. Michigan State in the Rose Bowl, and Central Florida vs. Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl.

The Cardinal were a 4.5-point favorite at TopBet.eu against the Spartans, while the Bears were large 17-point chalk for their game against the Knights in Glendale, Arizona.

The Sugar Bowl on January 2 then has Oklahoma vs. Alabama, with the Crimson Tide a 15.5-point favourite for the game after they fell short of their usual spot in the BCS Championship Game.

On January 3 it'll be Clemson vs. Ohio State in the Orange Bowl, with the Buckeyes a 3-point favourite. Ohio State is coming off a 34-24 loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship, which dropped them to 12-1 SU (7-6 ATS) and out of the national title picture.

On Saturday bowl season opens with four games, starting with Colorado State vs. Washington State in the New Mexico Bowl; the Cougars are 4.5-point favourites at the sportsbooks.

Southern Cal is then a 7-point favourite against Fresno State in the Las Vegas Bowl, with Buffalo and San Diego State a pick'em in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Louisiana-Lafayette and Tulane will then close out the day's slate in the New Orleans Bowl. See more bowl odds at Fox.

The Boston College Eagles have struggled in bowl games over the years and they are underdogs on the AdvoCare V100 Bowl odds menu against the Arizona Wildcats.

Boston College is just 1-6 ATS in its past seven bowl games and a recent trend in this bowl points to fading the Eagles again with Arizona opening as 7.5-point chalk.

Favorites are 8-2 ATS against the NCAA betting lines in the past 10 editions of this game, formerly known as the Independence Bowl.

Boston College’s four-game winning streak came to a halt in its season finale with a 34-31 loss to Syracuse as a 2.5-point road favorite to drop it to an even 4-4 SU in the ACC this season.

The total went OVER the 51.5-point closing line against the Orange and it has now gone OVER in the Eagles' last five games. They come into this matchup with a 6-3 record ATS in their last nine contests.

Look for a heavy dose of Andre Williams in this game. He led the nation in rushing this season with 2,102 yards on 329 attempts for an average of 6.4 yards a carry. He also led the team in touchdowns with 17.

[ Independence Bowl – AdvoCare V100 Bowl odds preview ]

The Eagles (ACC, 7-5 SU, 7-5 ATS, 8-4 OU) struggled to find the end zone at times with an average of 28.4 points per game and their defense was ranked 73rd in the nation in points allowed (27.8).

The Wildcats (Pac-12, 7-5 SU, 5-6-1 ATS, 4-8 OU) dropped three of their last four games to close out their season. They followed up an impressive 42-16 victory over then-No. 5 Oregon as 20.5-point home underdogs by getting hammered by Arizona State 58-21 in their season finale as 10-point underdogs on the road.

Arizona went 1-4 ATS in its final five games and the total stayed UNDER in four of those games.

This was another team that did a good job at moving the ball on the ground with an average of 265.8 rushing yards a game. Ka’Deem Carey did most of the damage with 1,716 yards on 322 carries, but quarterback BJ Denker proved to be a duel threat with 2,241 yards passing and 14 touchdowns to go along with another 898 yards and 12 scores on the ground.

Arizona’s defense stood firm for the most part by allowing an average of 24.7 points a game.

Arizona has been opened as a 7.5-point favorite over the Eagles with the total set at 57. The UNDER is 5-1 in the past six bowl games Arizona has played since 1997.

Max Scherzer was terrific all season, but he only split his two starts against Bartolo Colon and Oakland.

So after the Tigers lost three of his last five road starts, is Detroit a lock to win the ALDS opener Friday night? The Tigers are small road favorites on MLB betting lines posted by Bovada.

Matt Moore is small road underdog for Tampa Bay as they visit Boston. John Lester fires for the Red Sox in the other league championship opener.

In St. Louis, the Cardinals are favored again after winning Game 1 against the Pirates. Gerrit Cole faces Lance Lynn.

In the other Game 2, Zack Greinke is favored to push the Dodgers to a 2-0 series lead against the Braves. He is a small road chalk to beat Mike Minor.

Check out the current ALDS and NLDS lines, trends and matchup details.

Seven SEC teams are ranked among the nation’s Top 25, including four in the Top 10, but either LSU or Georgia will slip in the upcoming Associated Press college football poll.

The ninth-ranked Bulldogs (2-1, 1-0 SEC) host No. 6 LSU at Sanford Stadium in Athens, and Georgia is laying -3 to the Tigers (4-0, 1-0 SEC), according to college football betting lines at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

The Bulldogs come in after a less-than impressive 45-21 win over North Texas, as coach Mark Richt's troops committed too many mistakes, allowing the Mean Green to hang around far too long in the second half.

North Texas scored on a 99-yard kickoff return in the second quarter, and later tied the score when Marcus Trice scored on a blocked punt early in the third quarter.

On Saturday, the always-physical Tigers, led by former Georgia signal-caller Zach Mettenberger, who is 14-3 as LSU's starting quarterback, come to town.

The Tigers arrive on the heels of a 14-point home win over Auburn, and though they were banged up, coach Les Miles says starting right guard Trai Turner and starting defensive tackle Anthony Johnson will recover in time to play this Saturday. [ College football betting odds, spreads & trends ]

Top-ranked Alabama (-16 at most sportsbooks as of midweek) will try to find its rushing game Saturday night, when it hosts SEC rival No. 21 Ole Miss. The two-time defending champs come after rushing for a meager 66 yards on 21 carries against Colorado State and rank last in the SEC in rushing.

No. 4 Ohio State (-7) hosts 24th-ranked Wisconsin, in what should be a rather physical Big Ten contest. Both the Buckeyes and Badgers are best with their ground games, as Wisconsin is third in the nation in rushing, averaging 350 yards and Ohio State ranks sixth at 311.

After this weekend, there will be no more non-conference games for Big 12 teams, and that might be a good thing, as there have already been eight non-conference losses, twice as many as last year.

Big 12 teams are 19-8 against non-conference opponents with three more left to play, including No. 14 Oklahoma's visit to No. 22 Notre Dame. The Sooners are -3.5 on the road.

Last year, the Big 12 was 26-4 in its non-conference games played during the regular season.

Winnipeg was a 15/1 Grey Cup long shot a month ago, but they have tumbled all the way to 100/1 odds in the latest CFL futures posted this week.

Two Western Division teams lead the way, according to Bodog, at 2/1. The Calgary Stampeders (9-2) and Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-3) top the list while the Toronto Argonauts own the best odds among Eastern teams at 9/2.

They are just 7-4 however and just about any team could come out of the East.

Preseason favorite BC has slipped to 5/1, while Edmonton is 50/1, joining the Blue Bombers are CFL long shots. [ Full CFL standings ]

Seven weeks remain in the regular season before CFL playoffs begin. And in a small eight-team league, no team is truly out of contention.

But the odds say that Winnipeg and Edmonton (each at 2-9) have a lot of catching up to do.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks are the odds-on favorites to successfully defend their title, with the Pittsburgh Penguins favored to win the Eastern Conference and listed as second-favorites to hoist the Cup.

Along with a full set of lines for those who bet on NHL each year, every team’s chances to prove the oddsmakers wrong, there are a number of interesting props you can wager on in anticipation of the start of another season of NHL hockey.

The league will play a full 82-game schedule this season after an abbreviated 48-game schedule last year so the OVER/UNDER on Chicago’s point total has been set at 105.5 with the moneyline listed at -115 for both the OVER and the UNDER.

The Blackhawks’ odds to win another title are set at 6/1. Pittsburgh’s point total has been set at 108.5 with a -115 moneyline for both results. Its odds to win the Stanley Cup are 15/2.

The Boston Bruins are a 10/1 third-favorite to claim another Cup after winning the championship in 2011. Their point total for this season has been set at 102.5, with the moneyline for both the OVER and the UNDER set -115.

The Los Angeles Kings won it all in 2012 and they come into this season as 12/1 fourth-favorites to win a championship in 2014. Their projected point total is 98.5 with a -115 moneyline each way.

One of the biggest changes as a result of the NHL’s recent realignment of divisions was the Detroit Red Wings' shift from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference.

They have been opened as 17/2 third-favorites to win the East this season behind Pittsburgh and Boston. Competing in the same division as the Bruins, Detroit’s projected point total is 97.5 with the moneyline set at -115 for both the OVER and the UNDER.

The favorites for some of the individual player props for the new season include Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby at 3/1 to win the league’s Most Valuable Player award, the Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist at 4/1 to win the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender, and Ottawa’s Erik Karlsson at 4/1 to be named the league’s top defenseman.

Crosby has also been opened as a 5/2 favorite to lead the NHL in total points scored, while Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos has been opened as a 5/2 favorite to score the most goals.

ESPN College GameDay will roll into Clemson for the premier matchup in Week 1 of College Football, as No. 5 Georgia visits the eighth-ranked Tigers in a battle of senior quarterbacks.

Georgia opened a slight 1-point favorite over the Tigers, and has seen some movement, with the number creeping to 2, and back down to 1.5 at most places, with the total a consensus 72. [ Matchup Stats ]

Georgia's Aaron Murray is one of 10 offensive starters back for the Bulldogs, and might be this year's quarterback-darling out of the Southeastern Conference. He opens his final season with 10,901 passing yards and 95 touchdowns.

The biggest question for the Bulldogs might be how their defense stops Clemson wideout Sammy Watkins, who's tallied 1,927 receiving yards and 16 combined offensive touchdowns in two seasons. He and Boyd are the deadly combination that might prove fatal to Georgia's national championship dreams (they are currently a 14/1 bet to win it all).

The Dawgs have an athletic defensive backfield, which might feature as many as six athletes in action for this game. Where the Tigers might find an edge is on their offensive line, with four starters back to protect Boyd.

Both defensive units are on the hot seat, as they'll be expected to make key stops against very good offensive attacks. Georgia returns only four starters to a defense that ranked 32nd overall last season, while the Tigers welcome back six starters to their stop unit, which ranked 63rd overall in 2012.

The Bulldogs - who have won 14 of their past 16 lid-lifters, including 10-2 under coach Mark Richt - come into this one riding ATS win streaks of 6-1 overall and 10-3 against Atlantic Coast Conference foes.

Clemson, meanwhile, has lost five straight to the Bulldogs for those who bet on football and rolls into the 2013 season after covering eight of its last 10 last season and losing five of its last seven to the books in non-conference play.
